The six candidates on stage at the Sheslow Auditorium in Des Moines are the smallest group yet to debate each other.
But the former mayor is scheduled to appear tonight on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.– Ledyard KingThe debate moderators put several questions to the candidates on foreign policy, seeking ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers. Would they allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon?
Both Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar acknowledged they would leave some “small number” of troops in the Middle East. Pete Buttigieg said preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon would be a top priority if he is elected president. But Trump made it harder for the next president to achieve that goal when he withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, Buttigieg said.
Pressed on why his vote backing the war in Afghanistan is different from Biden’s vote for the Iraq war, Sanders called the Iraq war the “worst blunder in modern history.” Polling shows a tight contest in Iowa, with Joe Biden, Sanders, Warren and Pete Buttigieg bunched at the top. Amy Klobuchar and Tom Steyer are also on stage, hoping for a late breakout moment that can propel their candidacies to the top tier.
